That doesn't make a difference. It's either underfed, too high pH, or both. I see deficiency, particularly iron.

A lot of people will say to start DWC with tap water or very low nutes, but this limits seedlings in their first few weeks. The minute nutrient levels are raised to a sufficient level, the plants always start taking off. There's no reason to purposefully starve seedlings...

It's a snow lotus x white widow autoflower I'm running a 2 gallon bucket with 5 litres of water DWC and been changing water every 3-4 days it's in a 2x2x5 tent with 8" oso fan and exaust fan... Had been adding lil half caps of jakes 3 part nutes every flush last flush I went about 4 days n water was running a lil over temp and was noticing all new growth was turning yellow... So once panic settled down I did a flush with gh flora trio a bit under gallon dosage into 5 litres n then she started to green out again gonna flush today in jus reg ph water as recommended by hydrored for a flush or two n see how it goes/grows

If you feed with plain pH'd water, it will start to die again. Plants in DWC need to be in nutrient water for their whole lives or they will suffer from deficiency and ultimately death. The idea of giving seedlings watered down nutrients is like giving a baby watered down milk out of fear of burning its mouth with "full strength". Its not drinking gallons of milk, only what it needs!

If normal strength nutrients causes seedling death, why don't they die when planted in supersoil? In soil, you start with enriched soil and end up with depleted soil on harvest. Why do people think it's the opposite in hydro? Plants always want a good concentration of nutrients, not just adults. The quicker you start them off with a good concentration, the quicker they take off.

The reason noobs are generally told to underfeed is because in the past, they had a tendency to overfeed... but now it seems like there's more of a tendency to underfeed. Plants want "just right", not "less is more" or "more is more". Less is not more unless you're overfeeding, which you're not.

Just measure the res ec and ph to see for what rises and falls and adjust based on that.

Ideally you want to feed on a bell curve.. If the plant is growing at a rapid rate, (during stretch) you want to feed at a higher rate. When they are seedlings and during the last week of flower is when you want to be feeding the least amount.

Root s look fine but there aint many,in future i would go with re cubing from the samllest to the next to largestthis will give you a biiger root sytem.Make,sure you get a decent pump putting air into roots.

I would advice getting a compressor if possible,you will find this may make the plant grow alot more healthy,The air pump dep on how many plants your doing,just the one get a fish tank pump not a cheap one one that takes two tubes and add two air stones any more a compressor
